They form scaffolds and networks in the cyto‐ and nucleoplasm. Cytoskeleton All intermediate filament proteins are composed of a tripartide domain structure. This structure consists of a structurally conserved central “rod” domain, composed of heptad repeats that are required for the coiled-coil interactions involved in the assembly of IFs; the rod domain is flanked on both ends by non-helical N- (“head”) and C-terminal (“tail”) domains. Intermediate filaments, Type-IV, heteropolymer intermediate filaments that are composed of three neurofilament subunits (NF-L, NF-M and NF-H), which are expressed mainly in neurons. The filaments are comprised of from 13 to 15 protofilaments of tubulin.

INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS Are structurally similar but biochemically distinct, with diameters intermediate between microtubules and microfilaments (about 10 nm). They associate with polypeptides fillagrin (binds to keratin), plectin (links vimentin), and synamin (also links vimentin, but found in muscle). 5 types are: 1. Intermediate Filaments.

Initially designated 'intermediate' because their average diameter (10 nm ) is between those of narrower microfilaments (actin) and wider myosin filaments found in muscle cells, the diameter of intermediate filaments is now commonly compared to actin microfilaments (7 nm) and microtubules (25 nm). Cell - Cell - Intermediate filaments: Intermediate filaments are so named because they are thicker than actin filaments and thinner than microtubules or muscle myosin filaments. The subunits of intermediate filaments are elongated, not globular, and are associated in an antipolar manner. As a result, the overall filament has no polarity, and therefore no motor proteins move along intermediate filaments.

Intermediate filaments are the cytoskeleton components of the cells just like microtubules and microfilaments. These are composed of a variety of proteins, more than 65 different types have been identified. Microfilaments are composed of linear actin polymers. Intermediate filaments are composed of a variety of different proteins. Microtubules are hollow structures composed of tubulin.

Figure \(\PageIndex{12}\): (a) Intermediate filaments are composed of multiple strands of polymerized subunits. They are more permanent than other cytoskeletal structures and serve a variety of functions.

Micrographs of negatively stained specimens clearly demonstrate that the filaments are composed of bundles of protofilaments--each 2-3 nm in diameter--and also reveal an axial periodicity of about 46 nm. The implications of these findings are discussed for three classes of model previously proposed for the structure of intermediate filaments. They are composed of non-contractile proteins. Intermediate fibers are of four types-keratin filaments, neurofibrils, gilal filaments and heterogeneous filaments (Desmin, vimentin, synemin, lamin and keratin filaments). They provide rigidity to the cell and maintain the cell structure. Which are the different types of intermediate filaments? These filaments were named intermediate because their diameter of about 10 nm is intermediate between the diameters of the thick and thin filaments in striated muscles (see Figs.
